Businesses play an important role is society, impact
communities, regions as well as individuals and the
environment. The processes and consequences of
globalization and the economic crisis, have
repositioned business approaches and growth towards
more inclusive, competitive, sustainable, resource and
energy efficient and environment friendly
management. Business management models should
adequately address the key objectives of inclusive and
sustainable management, integrating economic, social,
and environmental elements and considering the inter-
linkages and collective impact in all three dimensions.
There is an urgent need to formulate sustainable
management frameworks addressing interactions and
dependencies as well as tradeoffs in various focus
areas. The challenge that these adjustments present,
calls for the alignment of corporate social responsibility (CSR) with business strategy to create a
truly sustainable approach.
The conference has been designed to understand and deal with the unprecedented impacts of CSR
on the working population, society and the environment. It will facilitate the elaboration of various
frameworks with the goal of developing evolutionary CSR practices. This is the 3rd CSR
conference in the series, following a successful second conference at Nanjing University of Finance
& Economics in 2015 on Building New Bridges between Business and Society. It will be an
excellent platform to deliberate upon global themes of Corporate Social Responsibility,
sustainability, ethics and governance in all their various dimensions.
The 3rd CSR conference will showcase current CSR models and practices, as well as the next
generation of issues that business leaders and society will face. The conference will gather high
level government officials and representatives, business leaders, experts from the business
community, civil society, non-profit and community based organizations, academic institutions,
and other stakeholders. It provides a platform for the sharing of expectations, aspirations and
responsibilities. We want to bring together representatives from various parts of the globe to share
their experiences, challenges and opportunities.
Presentations, workshops and dialogue sessions will highlight state of the art topics and how
issues are being addressed around the world. In addition, the conference aims to develop new
frameworks, tools and techniques essential for the integration of socially responsible management
in business operations, in an effort to achieve sustainability at all levels of business management.
